Vodafone deals

Redmi Note 10 arrived. 128GB, grey.

-Bought Eir Payg Sim Friday with 10 euro credit

-Used it up on my own phone which is Sim free over weekend

-Ordered Redmi Note 10 online Sunday afternoon

-Had DPD notification on Monday via SMS that order would be delivered Tuesday

-Order delivered by my local DPD guy half an hour ago. Also had SMS notification for that

-Eir sim still not ported!! But don't care as throw away. Strange though as I requested immediate port on VF website when ordering, so VF not doing themselves any favors if they want to drum up new business.

Also no contact from VF at any stage by text or email which is odd I think but who cares now. Only contact was from DPD.

So I had a smooth process.

They dont notify you of cancellation. Best check with them using the chat feature after a day or so

I've been in this rodeo before with the Pixel but decided to go again.

Ordered yesterday using a Lyca sim. Order confirmation email received but nothing else. Reading the thread it looks like delivery is via DPD.

Left my Lyca phone at home and when I came in from work this evening there was a text from DPD about a planned delivery this morning. Nothing around the house.

Logged on using the DPD link and it was about a delivery to the other end of the country but the person had the same mobile number as the one I was porting.

Still, a wee bit of excitement before the inevitable let down.

Had a spare unactivated 48 sim lying around from the last pixel Vodafone fiasco so activated it yesterday and ordered the Redmi using revolut got a confirmation of the order shortly after and just got the dpd delivery text message for tomorrow :-)

Must do lotto tonight my luck 🤞 must be in

cancelled a second time!

Had to join the rodeo, FOMO.

lyca sim arrived might chance it again tomorrow :-)

I ordered, got email straight away and an hour later, my VF account says order submitted. How long til it would be cancelled?

"Reading posts this month it looks like Aug to early/mid Oct was the time to pinch phones from Vodawhat"

We may need new thread..

Pretty sure this was confirmed on the previous page.

Mine got cancelled, only seen on my dashboard. You'd think they'd at least email.

Anyways, placed the order again using same 48 mobile sim and new email address.

My money is pending, assumed that just elapses

I am with Vodafone. I guess the deal won't work for me

So I am . Well , was until Monday.

Got my shiny new card from AnPost. Free plus one month for free all data call, txt, because i switched my voda number to anpost mobile.

And then I learned that anpost is run on voda network 😁. Will see, I will try to switch back to voda in next few days , and I will report it here.

By the way, that number has already been switched to voda years ago to avail of similiar offer 😀 So will see how it goes this time.

If anyone knows how often you can switch between providers?

PM?

I've just had my third order (in 24 hours) cancelled trying to port a 48 number. First two times I used a BoI credit card and didn't see any money taken off so I assumed that they got an error trying to get payment. I tried chat support and first time they said there was a 'rare technical glitch' and that it would definitely work second time. Second time they said that it was an issue with payment so I used N26 the third time and the money was taken instantly. Now going to try a fourth time...

This all worked perfectly for me over a month ago when I ported a Lyca number.

My daughter has this phone well over a year and I have tried numerous ways to add Google, but I was never successful, some would work but very glitchy, and others just didn't, there is an app locker apk thing that can be got but I would be very reluctant to input her Google account details to a third party app, so I just gave up, Huawei are slowly adding more and more apps to their app store. But none of the major ones like banking apps etc

Sucks, you cannot port from AnPost mobile 😬

Welcome to the rodeo! Would it not just be easier for everyone to hop in a car / bus to the nearest VF store? I've had no issues buying these offers instore for the last 4 years....

And if they say you can't port for Tesco for instance. Push them. Make them try. There is no fictional block. The staff are trained to tell you bollocks, basically. I've moved 48, Tesco, Three & Eir instore.

And YEAH... I had numerous failed online orders too with the same SIMs.....

Unlocked...

Just ordered there using a lyca sim..fingers crossed but not holding out any hope really

Had four attempts cancelled, using three 48, one Lyca.

Peed off
